An expressive and symbolic composition centered on the silhouette of two faces facing each other in the moment before a kiss. Tatia Bogveli constructs the image through strong hallmarks of contrast between the dark, textured, and vibrant background and the central figure in orange tones, which emerges as a luminous presence within the composition.

The work combines gestural abstraction and synthetic figuration. The textures, graphic elements, and glazes of the background create an intense, almost nocturnal atmosphere, while the profile of the faces introduces an intimate and emotional reading. The gold leaf adds subtle glints to the surface, reinforcing the poetic dimension of a scene that speaks of encounter, desire, and closeness.

In this piece, the kiss is not depicted literally, but as a visual tension between two presences. The line that separates and unites the profiles functions as the axis of the composition, transforming the loving gesture into an essential image. The result is a direct and evocative work, where material, color, and emotion merge into a painting of strong visual impact.

Tatia Bogveli, an artist born in Tbilisi in 1995, creates work linked to contemporary figurative and expressive painting, with a special focus on light, texture, and the emotional dimension of color. In her compositions, the image is constructed through chromatic intensity and poetic sensibility.
